Into The Wild - Chris Finds Bus

[@KalvinEllis]

Notice how the wilderness is portrayed as beautiful and majestic while he still had food left, which was also meant to reflect his mental state. Then almost immediately after he failed to preserve the moose's meat and his sense of desperation kicked in, the tone started to become much darker and more menacing.

[@andromedaiscoming185]

He was looking for adventure and to get away from the bubble he was living in, he wasn't anti-shelter and warmth lol. That would be so cool to find a little rusted out bus and set up camp for a bit , some warm firelight and quiet just writing in your journal and looking out the window or at the fire. If you don't get how sweet a find that would be you must not have an adventurous spirit.

James P as stated in the book, he did this purposefully and usually refused any sort of material from others because that was the whole point of this trip. he even acknowledge that there was a chance hat he would not make it out alive, so he definitely was not unaware of the possible consequences. this is why there are many who see him as a respectable figure, and he wasn’t as naive as some think he was.

If a man walks out into the Mojave Desert with (4) 1pint bottles of water in the middle of summer to hike across it, do you call him a Brave, Free Spirit or a Fool?

Try looking at others experiences outside your weird narrow world view that can only see this as a battle for “survival”. You’re doing yourself a disservice.

[@pacificdragon1]

@@lillonerboi504 No, I am a Realist. As someone who has experience Camping, and Hiking in places where if something went wrong, you were on your own. In other words no one was coming to save you. This was before GPS and Cell Phones. When you go into the Wilderness, it is not Disneyland, and does not suffer fools. You need to be prepared with food, water or a way to purify water, proper clothing and shelter, signaling devices like a mirror, etc. My pack was usually between 45- 50lbs. It is also a good idea to get knowledge from people familiar with the area. Also, let people know where you are going and when you expect to be back. If you do not do any of these things when you go into the wilderness you will probably end up a statistic as this person.

[@lillonerboi504]

@@pacificdragon1 Notice how your entire comment is STILL from the perspective of survival. What if…Chris actually didn’t REALLY care if he survived the trip. He didn’t have much to go back home to. He loved his sister sure, and met some great folks on his journey. But he left in the first place because he was lost and used physical escapism as his outlet to find peace and some semblance of self understanding. Stop seeing this as a guy tryna “conquer” the wild. He wanted to experience the wild, for all the grit, roughness and beauty it had to offer. I think his mindset is summed up by his two signs he wrote for anyone who found him. His darker side, starving, alone, and instinctively desiring safety left a sign asking anyone to save him. On the flip side, he also left a note on how happy he was with his life and asked god to bless everyone. Chris wasn’t trying to be Les Stroud and incessantly picking him apart like he was trying to be Les Stroud is horribly overlooking this beautiful journey Chris had and what it means to many people.

All he had to do was take the time to prepare for such a venture. Running off into the woods with very limited supplies, no understanding of the area he was in and ZERO hunting/trapping experience was a definite death sentence. I bet he wasn't feeling the romantic appeal of living free when he was starving. "Where are the fucking animals now! I'm fucking hungry". That scene perfectly captured the final desperation.
